Hi,
First time posting on the list. I have some questions regarding audio
production. I've been thinking of setting a small audio production machine,
nothing too fancy, but good enough to create good quality podcasts and do
some mixing. All done in linux of course.
What linux distro do you suggest?
What hardware to use that would work flawlessly on linux?
I'm not a pro when it comes to audio production, so if it's not too much to
ask, please don't be too technical, suggest me a few links so I can learn,
or even explain if you have the time.
Thank you all for taking your time to read.

Hi Andres,
The M-Audio Audiophile 2496 is a good, cheap-ish soundcard that works very well under
Linux.

Hi, thank you for taking your time to answer.
I looker for the card you suggested:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html
I see it has a 9-pin connector, what can I plug in that kind of interface?
I'm thinking in connecting 4 microphones, can it be done with that
interface?
Also, what's the best microphone for voice recording?

The 9-ping connector is for S/PDIF and MIDI connections. The link you
gave shows the connector that goes to that port.
The 2496 only has the 2 mono I/O channels. If you want more, you
can either connect a mixer and mix down to 2 channels, or step up
to a Delta 44 which has 4 I/O channels.
All the M-Audio Delta cards are well-supported under Linux. I went
from a 66 with the Omni I/O box to my current setup of 2 Delta 1010s
and have never had a problem with Linux handling them.

Another Maudio 44 here (ice 1712 module) and it runs well. I use it entirely
inside the box to write orchestral music, and it performs without a glitch.

The 9-pin interface is for the breakout cable (supplied) for MIDI and digital signal
I/O...
if you want 4 inputs you might need the 1010 or similar but stay away
from the Audiophile 192, it is not supported. I plug a cheap Behringer
mixer into the stereo ins of the 2496 to get more inputs.
Dunno about microphones!

Soundcraft have two
new mixers called Compact4 and Compact10.
http://www.soundcraft.com/product_sheet.asp?product_id=121
The 4 has 2 mic ins and 2 stereo line ins, while the 10 has 4 mic an 6
line. IMO they are much better than the behringer in design, features,
flexibility and build quality. The channels have a record enable button
so you don't accidentally record unwanted channels (or noise). Separate
mix and monitor and record outs. Separate artist and engineer headphone
outs. And much better mic pres. Well worth the few extra bucks. ($149
for Compact4, $249 for Compact10 at one place I checked)
I have the Compact4 and Audiophile 2496 and can highly recommend.

Hi, thank you all for your answers.
So is this 2496 JACK compatible? Still don't know what kind of microphones i
should use for voice recording. What software should i use to record and the
best distro for it?
Thanks!

JACK? Works well.
Mics, software distro? I use AT 2020, Ardour and 64Studio mainly.
There are many other good options.
